CHRISTINA'S POV

We all woke up around the same time in the morning, none of us seeming fully awake, our bodies physically, and emotionally exhausted. Nix's death had taken a big toll on all of us, whether we want to admit it or not. Ray was looking even worse today, and he wasn't able to even stand without help anymore. I was terrified for him, and deep down we all knew that this wasn't going to get better in time. We all knew Ray probably wasn't going to make it out alive. Even though, deep down we knew, we were never going to give up hope, at least, not until there's no time left.

Heather was looking uneasy. She kept glancing around the room, tapping her feet, twiddling her thumbs, and her eyes were wide. No one really knew why exactly, and she wasn't saying anything, so we decided to leave it alone. It was weird to see Heather always look so broken, since I was so used to seeing her happy, bubbly personality. I knew she'd been here the longest, but ever since the incident with Lily, I had a feeling that she was hiding something, something serious.

HEATHER'S POV

It's kind of weird to know that this day will be my last. The weirder part is, I'm not sad. I could potentially be not only saving my friends, but being a hero. I still miss my pills, wishing I could feel the lively way I used to feel. Maybe I'd get to see Barrett again, but I wish I could stay with Henry, who I'd accidentally gotten attached to. Today was the day, and if I was going to die, this was the way I was going down.

I walked over to where all my acquaintances were sitting, and observed. I would be lying to say I wasn't nervous, I was petrified. Death isn't a joke to me, don't get me wrong. I don't want to die, but I know eventually, I'm going to have to, and it's not like I've even felt really, human lately anyway. I'm not sure how he's going to kill me, if it'll be fast or slow, but I need to say what I need to say, whether it hurts me or not. Maybe I'll tell them in an hour. No. I need to tell them now, the sooner I tell them, the sooner they can get out of here. I took a deep breath, and stood up.
